Floods up north

[Ralphy]

They should start the clean up operation though instead of sitting in a squash centre!

I still think your being harsh.

If your house was completely flooded and all your belongings were trashed you wouldn't be happy would you?

Also, some people are on very low incomes and don't have the money to rebuild their lifes.

Funny how when something happens overseas and shit loads of money gets sent abroad, noone complains in fact spend all day on here discussing how bad it is etc. and then when something happens to our countrys own people complain about money etc.!  We wouldn't want our government to look after our own now would we.......... :-))(

Has there been an article in the Sun or Daily Mail or something today?

I thought they all lived in slums 'oop north' anyway?

Yeah that's right, I'm sat here in my £400,000, 5 bedroomed, 2 bathroomed Edwardian Sheffield slum right now.

But I'm on the good side of the city that doesn't flood.

As for the rest of it:

Lady's right, some of these houses were under 3-4 feet of water for a week and a half to two weeks. You don't sort that out by having a bit of a sweep up.

Carpets and soft furnishings will need to be chucked; a lot of timbers will need to be examined to ensure they're safe; electricity, gas and other utilities are still a problem; a load of white goods will need to be replaced. All round, for some of these houses it will take months, others may have to be pulled down.

And the "tough shit if they don't have insurance" people, have you always had household insurance yourself?

Those of you that have ever rented accommodation rather than owned your own homes, were you always fully covered? I know I fucking wasn't when I was younger.

And the £14million. What the fuck! I'm a bit more pissed off about the £30billion that GB and his mates are going to piss away on a load of nuclear submarine launched dick compensators over the next ten years.

Think how much each one of those is going to add to your tax bill.

It's not as if they're going to be too effective against medical students driving Jeep Cherokees full of exploding hair dye is it.

Well let's hope Sheffield City Council raise the council taxes of the people who live in their £400,000 edwardian houses so they can pay for the bad side of the city.  

And yes I've always gone for insurance, find it covers most eventualities.  I find it's well annoying with all these people who don't cover their bases and bitch and moan when they get caught out.

My car was hit by an uninsured motorist a couple of years ago, did I get anything, did I heck as like.  Get insurance and cover your asses if not pay for the damage that is caused, by mother nature or not.  Buildings and contents insurance is as cheap as nowadays, no excuses.

Yeah I actually did millom, wrong argument mate.  ive worked nearly everyday since 12 years old.  Backbone from how I got brought up.

Everything I own I borrowed the money, worked hard repaid it.

All I was saying at the start of this was they could start doing work on their homes to help it get habital.  Like clean up the homes, rip out carpets, beliee me by doing that it would help.  Instead they feel sorry for themselves.

[Luci]

If losing everything you own is not a good enough reason to feel sorry for yourself I don't know what is.

Who did you borrow it from Ash?

I'm not trying to pick a fight, but loads of people work every day and don't become financial successes, due to lots of factors.

Its not going to help you is it, its like when people cry over silly things.  When you have nothing in life, you can do two things fuck all and be over or work at it and get your life back

This forum makes me laugh

not a financial success, the bank its called a loan.  Then you repay it borrow more pay back more.  Im not having a fight, I find this whole place funny.

[McLovin]

I'm all for helping the communities affected, but not for replacing carpets and TVs of the uninsured. I just think that by not having such cover, you should be prepared to face the consequences that may arise as a result.

[Luci]

I dont call it silly but anyway to prevent an argument Ill let you rant on.

All I gave was my opinion - what this forum is for.
